Often it is because you have spent more money than you have taken in. That's simple. However, there's other symptoms: paying bills late, spending money you expect to get, not building a savings account of 8 month's income and so on. Medical bills, illness and other surprises hit us all, but if you have set things up so you are not living paycheck to paycheck, you will find your finances to be more flexible.
